George Carlin once joked that this episode of American history proved that the American Constitution was definitely not God given. When Americans refused to stand up for the Constitution, it becomes nothing but dried ink on an old piece of paper. God will do nothing to protect human rights, only humans can uphold the Constitution. When Americans are gripped with Fear, hysteria, prejudice, and lack of political leadership, all the precious rights that they are so proud of mean nothing. I'll give America credit for publicly apologizing for this injustice, and trying to make amends to the victims. But this episode of American history really made me depressed about humanity. If this can happen in the land of the free, it can happen anywhere. Humans are distributing animals.

Lol the US gov apologizing for the wartime incarceration admitting it was the catastrophic result of racism, hysteria and failed political leadership. The US saw it as a bad move economically, so as to not sever ties w the Japanese.

My great grandmother was in one of the Japanese internment camps. I seriously dont understand how she maintains more faith in humanity than I do after her own country demonized and harshly mistreated her and so many others.

As a Korean, I cannot forgive what Japanese did in the past. Maybe Japanese cannot forgive US for the bomb and any other wrong things US did. But the bad things US did in WWII saved my ancestors and his or her fellow Koreans.

It's sad that the American education system does not even have a unit on this. This event is mentioned only briefly, and most people don't know about it at all. The American Dream is a facade.

Glad I'm a Floridian! We had the Yamato colony in Boca Raton, and not one of them were shipped to an internment camp, merely put under tighter travel restrictions than other Americans.
